ABIH Discontinues Reviews of the CM Point Requests for Category 4 Education Events ABIH has discontinued all CM point request reviews for Category 4 Education events (with one exception as noted below). Instead, individuals will have to calculate their own CM points. ABIH plans on providing additional information and guidance such as updated CM worksheets, point calculation tools, and guidance documents. ABIH posted an initial announcement in November and an update in December. NEAIHA will assist in easing this transition and ensure that meeting agendas show the number of hours of technical content and calculated CM points. Emails and Other
